Well it's only fair that after a little over six years and 999 posts, I should have a chance to welcome a new (ish) member to our Chordie Community.
Welcome! and it is nice to have you join in our discussions, and having been a "lurker" for a few months and surely reading the posts..... what took ya so long Bud? (just joking if you couldn't tell)
Anyway that is a very good question, and I don't recall it ever coming up before. My guess is anything that fits the context is acceptable. To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been a ruling or vote or decree that specifically "names" the members as a group. So unless it is demeaning in some way or offensive, take your pick.
Tell us a bit about yourself, music tastes etc., after a really short while you'll start to feel like one of the "Family" except you don't have to send everyone a Christmas card.... at over 500k members writer's cramp would cripple you for life, and your guitar would get really lonely.
Welcome Aboard & Take Care;
Doug
